How can cancer metastasis be better understood through the study of the microbiome? By understanding how the microenvironment reaches its most beneficial state, researchers can better understand and treat metastasis. Press play to learn: How can cells metastasize into various parts of the body Which factors play a role in metastasis Why cancers have tropisms Sendurai A. Mani, a Professor, Department of Translational Molecular Pathology, shares his work to better understand metastasis in cancerous tumors. Since one of the most dangerous aspects of cancer is its ability to travel throughout the body, it is in researchers' and patients' best interest to discover why. This can be difficult, though, since cancer cells break the norm of normal cells. It can be challenging to distinguish single cancer cells from normal cells since they excrete the same protein. However, by explicitly studying the microenvironment, it may be easier to differentiate the cells for studies. Want to learn more?

Cancer survival exceeds 90% when detected during Stage I. Novel technologies are making early detection easier, especially for cancers that usually aren't diagnosed until after metastasis has occurred. Tune in to discover: The important distinction between multi-cancer early detection and liquid biopsy The benefits provided by looking for molecular signs of cancer rather than anatomical, such as by mammogram or colonoscopy How stage I cancer is defined Eric Fung, MD, PhD, is Vice President of Clinical Development at Grail, a company with a mission to detect cancer early, before it has spread to other parts of the body. Unfortunately, as it currently stands, only a fraction of cancers are detected at Stage I, especially when it comes to cancers for which there are no screening guidelines. Over the past 50 years, the primary focus in cancer research has been on therapeutics. But many FDA-approved therapeutics have very little impact on survival rates, because when it comes down to it, the best way to reduce cancer mortality is to detect cancers early, when they can still be cured. Fung explains how a new multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test called the Galleri test can detect the presence of 50 Stage I cancers, and with only a single blood draw. He also discusses the studies supporting the validity of this test, namely the Circulating Cell-free Genome Atlas (CCGA) study and prospective clinical study called PATHFINDER. The Galleri test is now available to patients by prescription. Press play to hear the full conversation and learn more at grail. https://www.galleri.com/.

Imagine feeling perfectly healthy and heading to your doctor for a simple cholesterol check, only to be told your blood work indicates that you may have an extremely rare, aggressive form of cancer. This is how most people are diagnosed with T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL). Dr. Marco Herling specializes in this type of cancer and shares his insights with listeners. Press play to learn: The difference between leukemia and lymphoma How the study of T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) has led to a change in its name, and why it matters The most common physiological findings in patients who end up with a T-PLL diagnosis Why T-PLL is mostly a disease of the elderly, and the one exception Dr. Herling is an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Hematopathology at the MD Anderson Cancer Center who was drawn to the study of T-PLL precisely because it is so rare and so understudied. In fact, he explains that most doctors struggle to diagnose it correctly and refer patients to the proper treatment. This lack of understanding exists even in large-volume academic centers and major university hospitals. In Western and European countries, the incidence of T-PLL is low, at about one to two cases per one million each year. "International networking is of the essence in order to make progress in this disease," says Dr. Herling. He explains how T-PLL is generally diagnosed, the signs and symptoms of the disease, theories about why and how it develops, and possible ways to detect and eliminate it earlier on. He also talks about the current efforts being made to further the study and understanding of T-PLL, which hold promise for an eventual effective treatment. Interested in learning more?

What makes the microplastic problem so hard to solve? With Varied sizes and states, this range of particles requires an interdisciplinary solution. Listen up to learn: Why the microplastics problem requires a varied approach If nanoparticles' charge affects their ability to be broken down The factors that impact the degradation of microplastics Orlin Velev and Nathan Crook of NC State University share their interdisciplinary work to begin offering solutions to the problem of microplastics and nanoparticles in the environment. Microplastics in the ocean have been causing issues for the environment far beyond what we understood in recent history. However, a solution is challenging to find since the problem cannot only be approached from one discipline. Through the combination of efforts from various fields, new solutions are being tested and implemented in multiple environments. However, the ocean presents a unique problem since so many factors play a role in the degradation of plastics. To learn more, visit https://www.cbe.ncsu.edu/velevgroup/ and https://www.crooklab.net.

What makes microplastics so dangerous? Since they can contaminate such a wide range of environments, their impact cannot be underestimated. Press play to learn: A possible solution for microplastic contamination How photodegradation works The importance of naturalistic treatments Elodie Passeport, an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, shares her work attempting to understand microplastics and how to break chemical bonds to combat their effect better. Microplastics are one of the most significant threats in the contamination of natural environments around the world. However, they are tricky to combat, so new solutions with a diminished impact on the treated environment are being developed. By implementing passive water treatment practices, a solution to the problem can be found through natural means. This is crucial since treating the problem while avoiding impacting the environment being treated is the key to successfully saving it.
